The Strange Sight that Traveller saw in a
Lonely Tepee.
WASHINGTON Star

Washington Star.
In 1881 was hunting some lost horses
in the broken country west of the Big
Horn River. had ridden all the morn
ing over country that was strange to
me. About II o'clock | crossed plateau,
ana was surprised to come suddenly TO
the edge of a canon, the existence of
which l had not even suspected, In the
canon was a stream with olumps of cot
tonwood timber along its banks, and in
one OF the open spaces was an Indian
lodge. The Indians that hunted in that
country we're peaceable, but the war was
just over, and the Sioux we're feeling
rather sore. If they were Crows or Arapa-
hoes l might get somo information about
my horses. lay down and watched No
smoke came from the tepee; no one NOV
ed around it, half dozen ponies grazed
Il few hundred yards distant. There was
not even a dog, which looked rather sus
picious. After waiting five minutesl
knew no more than ut first. suddenly
three Whitehall deer came from the tim
Der and walked leisurely across the open
ing. Then / knew that the camp was de-
serted, and / the strangeness of il start
creek and straight to the tepee. | threw
back the flap, and / shall remember what
| saw until death. In the center of the
tepee was spread buffalo robe, and on
the robe were guns and scalps and many
arrows; and there was also food done up
as for a journey, and, sitting cross legged
in circle around the robe, were six
braves of the Sioux Nation. All were in
their prime-all decked out in war paint,
and each one held bow and arrow n his
hand. On each face was an expression
of calm Indifference, as of one who
neither suffers nor enjoys, neither hopes
nor fears. The faces were those of dead
men, and the smallpox had marked them
with the awful mark. They took their
misery with their heads up, and even the
horrors of this disease could leave upon
their hearts no stain of fear, upon their
brows no mark of suffering. And this
that their God might judge them men
and fit them TO pitch their camps for
ever in the groves and green fields OF
Paradise.

O.. II. and ID. Affairs.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The affairs of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad
Company were under consideration in the
city to-day. Henry S. Ives arrived fcom
Cincinnati and met the committee COM
posed of G. G. Waite, I. ]. Emery, 6. Gano,
of Cincinnati, and w. R. McKeen and John
G. Williams, of Terre Haute, Ind, in the
law otfice of Hoadly, Lauterbach & John
son. The committee Immediately began
its work. Its inquiry will, it is announced
cover the following points: The outstsnd-
ing preferred stock; how much of this was
issued by the authorization Of the direc
tors; whether the company received the
equivalent of the new issue at par in
money Ia legal requirement); what has be-
come of the cash money the company had
on hand according TO the last annual re-
port on March 81, 1887, and how much of
the cash reserves of the company were
used by II. s. Ives & Co., in changing the
guage and meeting other expenses con-
nected with the Narrow Guage lines which
they purchased.
Mr.. Ives refused to talk about his firms
affairs or those of the company. He tele-
graphed to Boston this morning that he
was all right financially.
Lawyers Hadley and CrimwelI had fre-
quent conferences with Ives and Stsynor
and the resignation OF the Ives directors in
the road was conditionally offered but re-
fused.
The committee remained in session for
more than five hours, and then adjourned
to meet at o'clock in the evening. While
the meeting was in progress, the stock
market took on az aspect which threaten
ed the financial position of Ives & Co.
Late in the afternoon, Fellows, Morgan
& Co.'S, counsel advised that loan of 81,
000,0O0 which had been negotiated by the
firm by Ives be called in and the securities
sold, so as to divest Ives 6 Co., of all own
ership in the property. Kessler 81 Co.,
Immediately called their loan of $500, 900
secured by Government bonds, Lake Shore,
and Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
stock.
The last previous sale OF Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton was made on Thurs
dsy at 81 20. The best price that could be
obtained for it to-day was $40 a share.
One hundred shares were sold at that price
by order of Freeman & Co., Lathrop, Smith
& 0lypbant being the buyers. This was
all that could be disposed OF out of the
block in the loan.
A certain national bank president
called another loan just before the clio Sc
of the days business, and the collateral
securities will be called tomorrow.
In reply to a question about the day s
developments, Mr.. Ives said there was
nothing new. Other members Of the firm
were equally reticient. One of the credi-
tors said it had been decided to push the
matter to the end, no matter what the
effect to Ives might be.

Mr.. julius Dexter, who had acted as chair
man of the stockholders committee which
had been conferring with Mr.. Ives, stated
that the committee was not now ready to

tonight to make further examination of
the books, and it recommended that the
Board OF Directors also go TO New York
and hold a meeting there on Monday
when some changes in the Board of Direct
ors may be made, and that another meet
ing be held August 16 to hear the report
of the stockholders committee. This was
agreed to and so all action is deferred until
the meetings to be held in New York. No

to leave the Fort Wayne road and guarau.

THE CANADIAN FISHERY QUESTION.
Correspondence Between Secretary Whit
ney and Admiral Luce,


WASHINGTON, August 6. - Secretary
Whitney recently received the following
report dated Halifax, July so, from Ad-
miral Luce, commanding the North Allan
tic squadron:
"As there appears to be want of infor-
nation on the part of our fishermen op-
Grating in the waters of the Gulf of st.
Lawrence in regard to the restrictions i'm
posed upon foreign fishing vessels by Cana
dian laws, a series of inierogatories were
submitted to Captain Scott, of the Cana
dian Fishery Service, covering their rights
and the Statutory restrictions, and / have
the honor TO enclose herewith his answer.
A number of these circulars will be dis
tribpted among the fishing feet for the in
formation of those concerned"
The enclosure is printed sheet, headed,
Queries" and contains the series OF ques-
tions submitted by Admiral Luce, and the
replifs thereto by Captain Scott. Sscre-
taTy Whitney yesterday cabled the follow
ing to Admiral Luce:
"Admiral Luce, Halifax assume that
your application to Capt. Scott was not for
the purpose of obtaining from him an ex-
position of the law, but to enable our fish
ermen to know the extent of the Canadian
claim, and thus avoid difficulties if they
should so choose. This is not quite clear
in your report, and it would be better to
issue no more circulars and withdraw such
as are within your reach. Capt. Scott Is
not understood to be the agent of his Gov
ernment for any such purpose as that for
which you have employed him; and if he
were, the application might more properly
be made to our own Government, in case
q correct statement of the Canadian claim
is desired.

REPAIRING THF STEAMER rALos.

mendatfon OF the Board.

Secretary whitney Indorses The RECON-.
mendation of the Board.
WASHINGTON, August Ga Board of Re.
pairs recommended that the iron-hulled
steamer Palos, now on the Asiastic station,
be repaired, and estimated the cost at S..
600 on the hull and $40 900 for new boilers
and machinery One of the arguments In
favor of the recommendation was that nc
other vessel now in the navy would serve
the same purpose. she being able on ac-
count of light draft, to enter all the ports
on the station. The Secretary indorsed the
recommendation as follows:
August /, 1887. This endorsement sug.
gests the expenditure of the sum of about
$4,000 upon the Palos. The Palos is an
iron tug of about 800 tons, twenty-three
years old and is in no respect war vessel
as now understood. She cost originally in
1865 SIS, 900, when iron was twice its pres
ent price; and:could probably be built new
now, for $4,000. She has cost
nally built $1S3,24S She is kept
on the China station as q substitute for 9
vessel of war on account of her light draft
which enables her to visit the rivers and
and shallow bays. do not approve of the
proposed repairs. We are now responsible
for the maintenance or non-maintenance
of q navy, but we are for the proper ex
penditure of our appropriation. The ex
cuse that we must keep her afoat, or other
wise we shall have no vessel to take her
place, is matter for Con
gress. We cannot justify spending
$50, 900 upon the old iron tug as a vessel O
war except upon the ground that con
gress has not made other provisions fol
this service, which is matter for congress
and not for us to consider. Nothing ha
